Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and Nissan GT-R on Head 2 Head

“Never in a million years did I ever think I’d be doing a Head 2 Head with Godzilla and a Camaro,” says host Johnny Lieberman of this week’s matchup. It’s amazing to see how far Chevrolet has come with the Camaro, and even more so with this latest 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. We know that the 2014 Nissan GT-R can outgun cars far out of its price range, but has the Z/28 come along to usurp its throne?

Godzilla gets even more monstrous this year with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo, and this upgraded supercar has just thrown down a hot lap at the venerable Nürburgring racetrack in Germany. The time of 7 minutes and 8 seconds is hugely impressive and trails only the Porsche 918 Spyder’s 6 minute and 57 lap time set earlier this year in production car Nürburgring lap times.

It's one of the most popular vehicles on enthusiast forums and blogs for desk jockeys to proclaim the best performance car available, and from a purely objective standpoint, there's no question the 2014 Nissan GT-R delivers. With 545 hp, 0-60 in less than three seconds, and maximum grip well above 1 g, the performance specs on the GT-R put it in the company of some of the most elite performance machinery in the world. But do the numbers accurately convey the driving experience, which some have described as overly-managed by technology, lacking the essential soul of the European thoroughbreds? Justin Bell takes Japan's supercar to the track to find out.

For years, American enthusiasts pined longingly for the legendary performance of the Nissan Skyline GT-R. In the late 1990s, some gray-market right-hand-drive models trickled in to the country, but the car remained a forbidden fruit for the bulk of enthusiasts. But starting in 2009, Nissan made things right by offering the R35 GT-R to U.S. buyers. Not only is the car staggeringly fast on the street, but also a formidable competitor on the track. Nissan revealed the latest evolution of its track-going GT-Rs with the 2014 GT-R Nismo GT500, slated for competition in the Super GT Racing series in Japan, at the Suzuka circuit, southwest of Tokyo.

The 2014 Nissan GT-R is one of the best performance buys on the market with its ridiculously powerful twin-turbocharged V-6. Nissan already revealed a new hardcore Track Edition GT-R, but for those with slightly less sporting intentions there is now a new Special Edition for 2014.
